What the yearbook said

A very welcome addition was made to our class in its senior year at M. H. S. This charming gift came to us in the form of Josephine Moran from St. Mary’s. A lover of all sports and dancing Jo became very popular and has made many new friends in her short stay with us. Regis is to be the lucky college where Jo will continue her education. Such a pretty, good-natured and friendly girl is sure to succeed in all her future work. Best of luck, Jo, and may you always be as happy as you are now.
